Comment
Removed from the synonymy of Osteocephalus taurinus by Duellman and Mendelson, 1995, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 55: 344, where it had been placed by Trueb and Duellman, 1971, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 1: 31. Lynch, 2008, Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Exact. Fis. Nat., 32: 87-91, provided the Colombia records and discussed biogeography. Jungfer, 2010, Zootaxa, 2407: 46, suggeted that Brazilian specimens may be Osteocephalus vilarsi.
